Vice Chair and College and Sections Rep

I began my nursing career at Waiariki Polytechnic in 1986. Since qualifying,I have worked in Quality and Improvement, Health and Safety and Theatre. The last two decades has seen me predominately working in the perioperative area.

I am currently employed as a perioperative nurse in a private health care facility, that specialises in plastics, cosmetic and vascular surgery. 

I have a passion for Infection Prevention and Control and was instrumental in growing the facilities IPC Committee. I now sit with pride on the IPCNC committee. I also have a passion for advocacy, and believe putting the patient at the centre of decision making is paramount.

I am now looking forward to representing Colleges and Sections on the Membership Committee.

Denise Moore

Kia ora

My name is Denise Moore and I am excited to be nominated to represent the Canterbury region on the Membership Committee (MC).

I started my nursing career in 1982 as a hospital aide working at Princess Margaret and Christchurch hospitals.

I then became an Enrolled nurse in 1987 where I worked in Wellington hospital and Porirua hospital.

I then became a Registered nurse in 1998 working in Rehabilitation and assessment at the Princess Margaret hospital, and then moved to acute medical wards and cardiology at Christchurch hospital.

Wanting a new challenge, I took a huge step and moved into primary health care in 2004 at Pegasus 24 hour surgery where our aim is to keep people out of hospital.

I worked in the acute area and now work in the Acute Demand area. I have been at Pegasus for the last 14 years.

I have been married for 38 years; we have two adult sons Hamish and Bradley. Hamish is married with three children so I am a very proud nana and try to get up to Cambridge as often as possible to see them all.

I am a union delegate at the 24 hour surgery and am actively involved in the Canterbury Regional Council. I am a national delegate and also currently on the bargaining team for the PHC MECA where we are fighting for pay parity.

I look forward to a new challenge of joining the MC and feeding back to our local CRM and NZNO members.

Wendy AlexanderWendy Alexander

Central

Hello, my name is Wendy Alexander.

My journey as a Registered Nurse began 15 years ago at Taranaki DHB where I started on the stroke/­ rehab ward and. I began as a NZNO Ward Delegate one year later and now I’m a night nurse on the medical ward where I continue to be a Delegate and a Health and Safety rep. These lead me to opportunities including:

•       NZNO Co-Convener TDHB

•       National Delegate representative

•       Regional Council member and

•       Membership Committee (MC).

Being active in these committees gives me the understanding and ability to pass information on to members around projects that NZNO endorse. Being able to share information between members of the MC is also a great way to get perspective on issues that affect the whole nursing vocation.

I look forward to representing NZNO members the best I can on issues concern, and as a group we can discuss together.
